One of the most prominent figures in skateboarding, Nyjah Huston has officially turned 30 years old.
Many of us have witnessed Nyjah’s evolution over the years, growing from that young Rasta dreadlocked kid into the emerging legend we recognize today. To commemorate his 30th birthday, he’s reintroducing the dreads with a limited edition run of Disorder boards.
Depending on your age—or more accurately, the time period you started skateboarding—it’s likely you remember this Nyjah quite vividly. I certainly do. Nowadays, he appears to be like two entirely different individuals! Nonetheless, Nyjah was always part of the scene while I was growing up. He was featured in all the magazines, releasing impressive video segments, and astonishing us with his incredible skills.
We understood that the dreads wouldn’t be around indefinitely, but I vividly recall how surreal it was when he first removed them. Again, he seemed like a whole new person. Almost like when Louie Lopez got rid of his long hair! We watched these youngsters mature into teens, then young adults, and now they’re hitting their thirties!?
Where has the time flown?
The boards are currently on sale at the Disorder site, but they’re in limited supply. All you devoted Nyjah enthusiasts out there should hurry. Based on the comments, people seem really excited. What a unique board!
Do you think he’ll ever bring back the dreads? That would be quite amusing. Happy belated birthday, Nyjah! Excited to see what you have in store for 2025.
